Orange ute used by retainers (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entourage

'retainers' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'orange ute used' is the wordplay.
'used' is an anagram indicator.
'orange'+'ute'='orangeute'
'orangeute' is an anagram of 'ENTOURAGE'.

'by' is the link.

(Other definitions for entourage that I've seen before include "Group of attendants" , "train" , "Supportive group" , "Ego nature found in accompanying group" , "Retinue, cortege" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
